438588 divided by 72 
Our goal is to divide 438588 by 72.

Moving on to step 1:
72 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 43 / 72

Step 2:
72 can be fit into 43 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 43 to get 43.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 438 / 72

Advancing to step 3:
The number 72 fits into 438 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 432 from 438 to get 6.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 65 / 72

Step 4:
When dividing 65 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 65.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtract 0 from 65 to get 65.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 658 / 72

Moving on to step 5:
72 can be fit into 658 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 609.0
Subtract 648 from 658 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 72

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 108 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6091.0
Deduct 72 from 108 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
72 can be fit into 360 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6091.5
Deduct 360 from 360 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 72 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6091.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 72, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6091.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 6091.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
